It’s officially dark beer weather. Which dark beer — stout or porter — is up to you. Of course, you might not know the difference. Most beer drinkers don’t.
At the end of the day, it all revolves around the malts. Stouts are usually made using un-malted, roasted barley. This gives them their toasty, coffee-like flavor notes. Porters are typically made with malted barley that isn’t roasted. This leaves porters feeling much milder on the palate — more chocolatey and caramel-like.
We’ve talked stouts a fair bit recently, so today we’re giving porters some shine. To find the best options for fall sipping, we asked some bartenders for their input. Check their answers below!
Three Floyd’s Alpha Klaus
Dante Wheat, bartender and founder of Raw Pineapples in Louisville, Kentucky
Three Floyd’s Alpha Klaus. The GOAT of Christmas beer (Christmas starts in fall IDC) is a beautifully strange cross between a porter and a pale ale.
This beer is dope, point blank period.
Resurgence Peter B. Porter
Andy Printy, beverage director at Chao Baan in St. Louis
If you can locate it, Peter B. Porter from Resurgence Brewery in Buffalo, New York is a decadent treat for spooky season. Chocolate, peanut butter, and all the best parts of childhood trick or treating are what awaits your palate. A standard ABV and touches of vanilla make it a sustainable choice while greeting the costumed kiddos with full-size candy bars.
I’ve been interested in the Almanac Bourbon Sour Porter recently because it’s not overwhelmingly heavy. With the sour component, it has a nice sweetness that isn’t ever too much. With the tart sour notes, it’s got a really fun complexity.
Tyranena Brewing Chief Blackhawk Porter. This is a spot-on porter with plenty of coffee and chocolate flavors. The head is a nice mocha and the viscosity is enticing.
The best porter to drink this fall would have to be Founders. The Founders Porter is perfect for fall/Halloween time. It has a sweet chocolate nose to it, with a strong, yet balanced malt.
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald
Roberto Berdecia, bartender at La Factoria in San Juan, Puerto Rico
Most of us have more time now, if so, I will recommend a proper porter tasting. If not, my favorite one is Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald. It’s probably because it was the first porter I tried, but the combination of the flavors is perfect for my palate.
Funky Buddha Wide Awake It’s Morning
Nestor Marchand, director of food and beverage at Plunge Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Wide Awake It’s Morning, from Funky Buddha Brewery. It is a south Florida local brewery making very good, genuinely interesting brews. It’s pretty much breakfast in a pint glass with maple, coffee, and chocolate flavors.
Anchor Porter
Eli Gay, taproom manager for NOLA Brewing in New Orleans
Anchor Porter. This criminally overlooked porter has stood in the shadows of its older sibling, Anchor Steam, for far too long. It’s the perfect blend of roast and chocolate while finishing clean. At 5.6% ABV, you can enjoy multiple in one session without palate fatigue.
Writer’s Picks:
Stone Smoked Porter Vanilla Bean
The only thing that can make a porter better is if it’s smoked. This version is full of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla sweetness paired with robust roasted malts. It will warm you up on a cold, fall night.
Creature Comforts Koko Buni
This 8-percent milk porter is so flavorful you’ll have to drink it a few times to catch all the notes. It starts with hints of coconut and espresso and moves into milk chocolate and eventually sweet cream. All in all, the epitome of “dessert in a glass.”
Lately, Twitter has been a rough place for famous Chrises. First Evans had his day on the trending side bar, and now it’s Pratt’s turn. With the way things are going, we cringe for what’s in store for Hemsworth.
Earlier this week, Warrior Nun writer Amy Berg posted a photo on Twitter of four famous Chrises – Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pine, and Chris Pratt. “One has to go,” Berg captioned the photo.
Pratt started trending as he was quickly dubbed the “worst Chris.” And things just got worse from there. Until some real-life heroes stepped in and tried to address the situation, defending their co-star and friend.
@bergopolis Pratt. This wasn’t difficult at all. Pratt isn’t even in the same universe as the other three
@bergopolis Pratt’s going even if they could all stay.

No, it’s not because that many people all strongly hated Passengers. Pratt’s political and religious beliefs were the issue Pratt is a practicing Christian, and allegedly attends a church with ties to Hillsong, a megachurch Ellen Paige called “infamously anti-LGBTQ.” Pratt has denied he attends an anti-LGBTQ church, saying, “It has recently been suggested that I belong to a church which ‘hates a certain group of people’ and is ‘infamously anti-LGBTQ.’ Nothing could be further from the truth. I go to a church that opens their doors to absolutely everyone.”
Additionally, Pratt is suspected of being a secret Trump supporter. Pratt follows some conservatives on Twitter, and he didn’t attend a virtual fundraiser for Joe Biden which many of his Avengers co-stars attended. (Robert Downey Jr. and Brie Larson also skipped out on the fundraiser without controversy.) But to be fair, Pratt has never spoken out about his political beliefs one way or the other, and has donated to both Republicans and Democrats in the past.
All the speculation about who he’s secretly voting for is just that – something which his Marvel co-stars pointed out. Pratt’s fellow Avengers came to his defense on social media, saying that those who were quick to criticize don’t really know what he stands for.
No matter how hard it gets, stick your chest out, keep your head up and handle it.

You got this… https://t.co/h2k4bOHkB8
Mark Ruffalo called the poll a “distraction.” Because it’s not like we don’t have more important things to worry about right now than which Chris we hate.

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn pointed out that it’s unfair to make assumptions about Pratt’s political beliefs based off of his religious beliefs.

We might not know how Pratt is voting, but his wife, Katherine Schwarzeneggar, has said she’s supporting Biden in this year’s election. Pratt, himself, hasn’t weighed in on the matter. Sadly, we’ll never actually know Pratt’s opinion on which Chris needs to go.
There are a lot of good TV shows on Amazon Prime, and not just the licensed content. By now, we all know that Amazon’s original programming can stand (and earn awards) on its own. It doesn’t have quite the breadth of Netflix, but there’s hardly a miss among its original series. If you’re trying to figure out exactly which original show to watch next on Amazon, here’s a great place to start with a look at the 15 best Amazon Prime original series right now.
Amy Sherman-Palladino’s follow-up to Gilmore Girls and Bunheads has helped put Amazon series on the map, and it’s got the Emmys to prove it. It’s a brilliant, quick-witted, crowd-pleaser, an exuberant fast-talking comedy with some heft. Set in 1950s New York City, Rachel Brosnahan (House of Cards, Manhattan) plays Miriam ‘Midge’ Maisel, the perfect, upper Westside wife who — after her husband leaves her — goes on a bender and finds herself on stage delivering a hilarious, profanity-fueled set in a rundown dump of a club. The club’s booker, Susie Meyerson (Alex Borstein), takes an immediate interest in her, so while her home life is falling apart, Miriam finds herself trying to build a career as a stand-up comic in an era when females weren’t exactly welcome on that scene. It’s a tremendous series that mixes comedy, feminism, and a little bit of stand-up history into a delightful concoction of laughs, heart and an incredible lead performance from Brosnahan, who will ultimately be remembered for this role the same way Lauren Graham will always be remembered for Lorelai Gilmore.
Patriot is a difficult show to describe because it’s so much more than the sum of its parts. It’s about a man named John Tavner (Michael Dorman), an N.O.C. (Non-official cover) for the CIA. His cover is as an engineer for a pipe company, a job for which he has little education or experience, and yet, it’s also a job he must maintain in order to complete his mission: To get a bag of money from point A to point B, which just happens to be what his job in pipe entails: To build a pipe to get a thing from Point A to Point B. But if it were that easy, neither an engineer (in the piping context) or a CIA agent (in the context of the bag of money) would be required.
Patriot is about the complications that arise along the way. There are mishaps; a murder investigation; and human nature and Tavner’s relationships with his brother, with co-workers, and with his father get in the way. After every episode, the intensity of this mission increases. The burden gets heavier. By the end, viewers will be left desperate to find a safety valve to unleash some pressure because Patriot does a number on its audience. It’s a pitch-black comedy, and it’s not for everyone, seeing as how it was canceled after Season 2.
Set in London, Fleabag stars the magnificent Phoebe Waller-Bridge (who also created the show) as “a young woman attempting to navigate modern life in London.” That description hardly does the series justice, however. It’s a hysterical, dirty, sexually devious and surprisingly thoughtful meditation on grief and loneliness that goes by so quickly (there are only six half-hour episodes in each season) that viewers will wish they savored it more before it ends. There’s a gut punch around every corner, but Fleabag always manages to lift itself out of its depths to make us laugh again. It’s truly one of the most distinctive, original comedies of the last several years.
David Tennant and Michael Sheen star in this hellishly fun adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s beloved work of fantasy. Tennant plays Crowley, a demon who’s spent the past 6,000 years living life as a kind of rockstar on Earth. Sheen plays his angelic counterpart, Aziraphale, a bumbling seraph who also calls Earth home and as a reluctant friendship with his immortal enemy. The two must band together to prevent the Anti-Christ – a kid in Oxford shire – from rising to power, destroying the world, and, most importantly, Crowley’s best of Queen mixtape.
Sneaky Pete comes from creators David Shore (House) and Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), who also stars as the series’ bad guy. However, it is the influence of showrunner Graham Yost (Justified) that is most felt: It has the same crackling energy, wit, and fast-paced storylines, combining a series-long arc with a few stand-alone episodes. In its first season, recently released convict Marius (Giovani Ribisi) is in debt to a nefarious gangster for $100,000, so he hides out in a small Connecticut town by posing as his prison cellmate, Pete (Ethan Embry). Armed with three years of prison stories from Pete, Marius — a career con man — has little trouble fitting into Pete’s family, who have not seen the real Pete since he was 11. Pete’s family enrolls Marius into the family bail bond business as an investigator, and Marius uses his in with Pete’s family to try and steal $100,000 from their safe and pay it back to Vick before Vick cuts off the fingers of Marius’ brother. It’s an out-there high-concept premise, but it plays well, primarily because of the terrific character work.
Titus Welliver stars in this police procedural from Amazon about a renegade detective charged with solving some hauntingly grisly murders. Harry Bosch is a former military man with a healthy respect for the rules and an unquenchable thirst for the truth. Each season, he’s presented with a case that threatens his carefully molded view of the world, often leading him to uncover conspiracies, corrupt cops, and even his own mother’s murderer. The subject matter might be dark, but Welliver is clearly having fun playing the brash, give-no-f*cks badass, which is why you should give this crime series a watch.
Catastrophe is a romantic-comedy in reverse: There’s a pregnancy, then they get married, and then they get to know one another to see if they can fall in love. However, it’s the constant bickering and sexual disagreements between Rob (Rob Delaney) and Sharon (Sharon Horgan) that makes the series so exhilarating. A more apt name for the series would be Amazon’s other series, Transparent, because the relationship between Sharon and Rob — warts and all — is the most open and honest in television, and maybe the funniest. The only downside to Catastrophe is that there’s just not enough time to spend with these characters.
Loosely based on Phillip K. Dick’s 1962 novel of the same name (it also bears some resemblance to Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America), The Man in the High Castle is set in an alternative, dystopian world where Germany won World War II. Basically, the East Coast is occupied by the Germans, and the West Coast is occupied by the Japanese, and there’s a no-man’s land in between. Exec-produced by Ridley Scott and Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files), the series sees various characters working to form a resistance against their occupation by collecting “forbidden newsreels” that show the alternate history in which the Allies won the war in an effort to reveal a larger truth about how the world should be. A dark exploration of what it means to be American, TheMan in the High Castle is a well-acted, tense, and often violent dystopian thriller with plenty of twists and turns to keep viewers guessing.
Tig Notaro’s semi-autobiographical One Mississippi — about a Los Angeles DJ recovering from breast cancer who has to return home to Mississippi after her mother dies unexpectedly — is so quiet and restrained in its approach that viewers may not realize until they are halfway through the first season just how much of the comedy has seeped in.
One Mississippi can be best described as a guided tour through the grieving process, but Notaro has had enough separation from the events in her own life that inspired the story to infuse the show with plenty of levity. The death of her mother is heartbreaking — and the periodic flashback sequences give her mom dimension — but Notaro finds clever ways to find humor in the familiar. Notaro manages to find the humanity in every character via their flaws, and while the show occasionally makes light of death (and of cancer), Mississippi never treats its characters with anything less than reverence. Less a comedy than it is a healing drama, it’s essential viewing for anyone who has ever suffered a loss.
In Transparent, Jeffrey Tambor plays a character who decides, late in life, to transition into a woman, and we see how that decision affects her family in the most hilarious and poignant ways imaginable, including the pain of an older woman realizing she’s wasted so much of her life living as a man.
It’s a sprawling family drama that tells its story in a way that dignifies and humanizes even its most deeply flawed characters. No one is cast in a great light, but all of the characters transcend their foibles. It’s sad and tragic at times, and triumphant at others, and it’s a beautifully painful and painfully beautiful series.
Goliath is an old-school legal thriller from an old-school television writer, David E. Kelley (The Practice, Boston Legal), who’s still the reigning king of legal dramas. It’s a meat-and-potatoes show, one driven by an entertaining storyline and compelling, flawed characters led by Billy McBride (Billy Bob Thornton, who won a Golden Globe for the role).
McBride is an alcoholic has-been lawyer who, in typical John Grisham fashion, has a case against a big tech firm fall into his lap. On the other side of the case is McBride’s former firm, his ex-wife (Maria Bello) and his old legal partner turned nemesis (William Hurt).
There’s nothing new or novel about Goliath except the fact that it doesn’t try to be new and novel: It’s an old-fashioned, well-made, well-acted and gripping television show with bad guys, morally questionable good guys and a strong supporting cast that also includes Olivia Thirlby, Kevin Weisman (Alias), Dwight Yoakam, and Harold Perrineau. Of all the shows on this list aside from Sneaky Pete, it’s also the most bingeable.
Karl Urban headlines this wild, gory, vulgar ride through superhero-dom from Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and showrunner Eric Kripke. Based on a Garth Ennis comic series, the show takes a darker look at those supernaturally gifted heroes we all love to fawn over. Urban’s gruff vigilante pairs up with a nobody (Jack Quaid), who has his life ruined by a group of corrupt supes. The humor is raunchy and sharp, the action is bananas, and the cast is an eclectic mix of talent who all find time to shine on on-screen. And now that season two is here, everyone gets the chance to ramp up the crazy and get in touch with their inner Spice Girl.
John Cusack and Rainn Wilson star in this bonkers sci-fi thriller based on a UK show of the same name. Cusack plays a nefarious tech guy who’s meatless invention to solve world hunger might have brought about the next plague. Wilson is the scientist fighting for a vaccine, but all this come secondary to a group of comic book nerds played by Desmin Borges, Ashleigh LaThorp, Dan Byrd, and Sasha Lane who believe the key to stopping this impending apocalypse might be hidden in a graphic novel about an evil rabbit. It’s bleak (but not UK-Utopia bleak) and relishes in its hyper violence with a darkly hilarious tone.
BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg and writer Kate Purdy reunite for this adult-animated series starring Rosa Salazar and Bob Odenkirk. The show follows the journey of Alma, a young woman involved in a car accident who slowly begins to lose her mind. She’s forced to question her perception of reality when her father (Odenkirk) reappears years after his death, pushing her to discover how he died and why she seems to have a newfound ability to travel through time. It’s a bit of a mindf*ck, in the best possible way, with Purdy and Waksberg employing rotoscoping, a realistic animation technique never before used on TV, to take viewers on a surreal trek through space and time, along with dark humor and musings on grief, trauma, and mental health.
This sci-fi space epic based off a series of beloved books found new life on Amazon for its fourth season after being canceled by Syfy in 2018, good news for fans who wanted more adventures for the show’s rag-tag band of anti-heroes. Set in the future when humanity has colonized the Solar System, The Expanse follows a trio of leads: United Nations Security Council member Chrisjen Avasarala, police detective Josephus Miller, and ship’s officer James Holden as they unravel a conspiracy that could break the uneasy peace. It’s full of action and thriller-like twists, but it’s the memorable, well-rounded character work that makes this a must-see.
John Krasinski’s return to television marks a dramatic departure from his The Office days. He plays famed CIA analyst Jack Ryan in this series that explores the character’s beginnings as an up-and-coming agent whose confidence in his abilities often lead to him clashing with higher-ups like his boss, James Greer (a fantastic Wendell Pierce). In its first season, Ryan infiltrates a terrorist cell with nefarious plans after uncovering how the criminal communicate with each other, but when he’s thrust into the field, things get dangerous.
Greg Daniels — the genius behind shows like The Office and Parks and Rec — serves up a darker bit of comedy with this sci-fi series about death. Well, it’s about what happens after. Robbie Amell plays a man who dies and chooses to have his consciousness upload into a digital afterlife, a serene “living facility” called Lake View. But things aren’t as idyllic has he’d hoped, and his existence becomes more complicated when he ends up falling for his living customer service rep.
This mind-bending sci-fi offering from Amazon Prime Video was created by Nathaniel Halpert — one of the minds behind FX’s Legion and Netflix’s The Killing. So yeah, it’s weird. It’s also dramatically rich in ways few sci-fi series are these days. The basic premise revolves around a group of people who live in a small town built on top of “The Loop,” a machine built to unlock the mysteries of the universe. When they start experiencing strange phenomena, they’re forced to dig into the real reason the machine was created and what their role in the grander scheme of things might really be.
Julia Roberts lands on TV for the first time with this slick thriller from Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail. Like his previous show, Esmail keeps fans in the dark, so expect plenty of twists, turns, and cliffhangers with this limited series about a misguided counselor hoping to help veterans returning from war even as the corporation she works for has sinister plans. In its second season, Janelle Monae stars as a woman who’s lost her memory and goes in search of her past, one that has ties to the same corporation Roberts worked for in season one.
SNL alums Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen star in this fantasy comedy about a married couple living an all-too-predictable life. Armisen plays his usual type, the kind of passive, bumbling husband-type he made popular on Portlandia, but this is Rudolph’s show and her chance to prove she’s suited to any and every comedy vehicle. There are twists galore in this thing, some that work, others that fall flat, but Rudolph’s subtle comedy and leading-lady turn keep you interested despite the cliffhangers.
Welcome to Wednesday Night’s Alright, my Uproxx Sports column where we compare AEW Dynamite and WWE NXT, the two shows that air on the best night of the week for wrestling. This week was a pretty strong one for both shows, with AEW running the first round of their #1 Contenders’ Tournament, and NXT preparing for Halloween Havoc.
Most Worthwhile Squash Match: Ember Moon vs. Jessi Kamea
Ember Moon needed to dominate a solo match to establish herself upon returning from injury and, before that, the main roster. Jessi Kamea gives her that, while looking strong enough (and certainly tall enough) to seem like a formidable contender. Most importantly, it led somewhere. Specifically, it led to Dakota Kai coming out and attacking Ember afterwards, setting them up for a feud going forward. I was sort of hoping they’d go ahead and make that match for Halloween Havoc, but I can wait if we have to.
Runners Up
Kenny Omega mega-squashed Sonny Kiss in the first round of AEW’s tournament. It was kind of a shame to see Sonny done that way, but it did establish this new heel Kenny as a force to be reckoned with. I think the real point, though, was Kenny’s new entrance, in which the announcer lists all his achievements (including having wrestled in North Carolina) while two bikini girls dance with brooms. It’s the heelest thing ever.
Britt Baker also made short work of KiLynn King, because nobody loves a jobber squash more than the AEW Women’s division.
Meanwhile, on the show where women get stories besides just chasing the title, Kacy Catanzaro volunteered to have a match with her friend Xia Li, who’s been on a losing streak and starting to flip out about it. Of course, when Kacy won, Xia fully flipped out and attacked her and Kayden Carter. Just when we were getting our first real look at the villainous Xia to come, Raquel Gonzales showed up to make it all about her and Rhea Ripley. And that’s probably fine, in the long run. I’m just interested to see Xia as a heel. She’s got a lot of promise, and I feel like this evolution of her character could be where she really comes into her own. I’m also hoping she follows the Usos’ lead, and switches from her culturally stereotyped gear to badass street clothes, something like the look she posted on Instagram today.
I’m not sure that Drake Maverick and Killian Dain vs Ever-Rise counts as a squash match, but it was super short and I don’t want to invent a new category for it. Maverick and Dain only lost because Drake lost his cool, beat Ever-Rise with a chair, and got himself and Dain DQed. Naturally this is the first thing he’s done that really impressed Dain, winning the big man over a bit. He’s still not into the music, but you can see he’s accepting the team-up. I really enjoy the Martin Prince and Nelson Muntz energy that Drake and Killian give off, and I’m looking forward o more of it.
Best Completely Unexpected Moment: Song & Dance
It’s not like this is the first musical number ever to happen on a wrestling show, but it’s certainly not something we’re used to seeing. Especially growing out of Jericho and MJF’s previously announced “steak dinner” which I think we expected to be all dialogue and maybe some jabs at “Table for 3.” This was way better.
It helps a lot, of course, that Jericho and MJF can both sing for real. Jericho’s rock star voice isn’t made for his sort of thing, but he’s not painfully out of his element. MJF, on the other hand, is fully in his element, and out-sings Jericho by a wide margin.
It was also smart that they chose a Rat Pack song, specifically “Me and My Shadow,” made famous by Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. That boozy, jocular, Vegas style is a good match for Jericho and MJF, and I wouldn’t mind seeing them do something like this again someday (but not too soon).
Runners Up
Aside from a couple of unmaskings that I’ll get to shortly, the only complete surprise I can think of is an appearance by Steve-O of Jackass. He’s helping Darby Allin train by getting him to do dangerous Jackass stunts that have nothing to do with wrestling. This is completely believable as far as how Allin would train, to be honest.
Best Feud About The Entire History of Wrestling in the 21st Century: Jon Moxley vs Eddie Kingston
Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston are going to have an “I Quit” match at Full Gear, and it’s all about how Eddie stayed in the indies while Jon went to WWE, and the different paths their lives took from there. It’s good stuff, in large part because it seems really rooted in truth. Kingston and Moxley represent two routes that wrestlers (and most artists, really) can take. One stayed independent, one went corporate, and now that both those paths have led them to the same place their mutual resentment is spilling over. I can’t even imagine how brutal that “I Quit” match is going to be, especially since it’s almost impossible to imagine either of these guys ever saying those words.
Runner Up
I don’t know that there’s anything else that fits this extremely specific category, although I guess you could say that Kushida and Tommaso Ciampa going after Velveteen Dream counts, because it’s two veterans who’ve spent the last fifteen years toiling away at wrestling versus a young cocky guy who got discovered on a TV show and might well be a sexual predator. Maybe that’s a bit heavy, but it’s there.
Best Masked Man Reveal: Pat McAfee
In the main event of NXT, Oney Lorcan and Danny Birch won the Tag Team Championship from Breezango with a little help from a masked man. After the match, he celebrated with Oney and Danny in the ring, and finally took off his mask to reveal Pat McAfee, who impressed everybody in his match with Adam Cole a while ago, and now seems to be back to build a faction to take out the Undisputed Era.
Lorcan and Birch are a great start to that faction. They’ve had problems with the UE for a long time, plus turning them heel right when they win the belts should definitely bring out new aspects of their characters.
Runner Up
Tully Blanchard also showed up in a mask to help his boys FTR attack the Young Bucks. It’s not like we didn’t know he was working with FTR, but I sure didn’t know he could still move like that. The question is, why are FTR viciously trying to end the Bucks’ career, when the Bucks have been acting like jerks and superkicking everyone in sight for a month or two now? I don’t mind not having strict, old-fashioned alignments all the time, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to sympathize with somebody who’s been attacking other people and then gets attacked himself. Hopefully they’ll clear all this up in the next couple of weeks, because the match itself should be awesome.
Best Promo: Cameron Grimes
Putting aside Kingston and Moxley, since I gave them their own space, I really enjoyed listening to Cameron Grimes do his mountain-heel thing that I’m so fond of. The best part, though, was his sudden trepidation upon finding out his Halloween Havoc match against Dexter Lumis is a Haunted House of Terror match, which should be fun even if I don’t know exactly what it means.
Actually, no, the best part of this promo was Dexter Lumis staring at Grimes through a window the entire time, without Grimes even noticing. Lumis is going to fit right in in a haunted house. It seems like a safe bet that Cameron will be doing most of the screaming.
Runners Up
Orange Cassidy’s only appearance this week was a weird, short promo that established that even though he’s having big matches now, he’s still Orange Cassidy. He can wrestle when you need him to, but that doesn’t mean he suddenly knows where he is all the time, let alone where he’s going.
Members of the Dark Order and Team Taz also got to talk on AEW this week. Ricky Starks seems like he could be a huge deal some day, and John Silver seems like he could be a bigger deal than anyone saw coming.
Best Match: Pentagon Jr vs Rey Fenix
We all knew this match was going to rule, and it did. A tournament like this is a great excuse to do stuff like brother vs brother, because we can all pretend it’s just the luck of the draw. Of course Penta and Fenix are fine with this. They’ve fought before, and even spent time as enemies. They obviously love each other, but if the job is to destroy each other, they’ll get it done. And they’ll fly through the air and look amazing the entire time they’re doing it.
Runners Up
The other two first-round tournament matches were Jungle Boy versus Wardlow, and Colt Cabana versus Hangman Adam Page. Jungle Boy looked great in a loss, and Hangman looked great in a win. Plus Jim Ross really wants us to know that Wardlow is the kind of athletic big man that a certain former boss of his would love. Personally I’m still looking for more personality from Wardlow, but I imagine that might happen when he breaks away from MJF.
Both shows had strong tag team showings in the main event. AEW had their No. 1 Contenders’ fourway between The Butcher and Blade, Dark Order/Beaver Boys, Private Party, and the Young Bucks. The Bunny is back accompanying Butcher and Blade, which I guess pays off Eddie Kingston yelling “Where’s your wife?” and “Get your house in order!” at the Blade.
Breezango losing to Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan was also a fun watch, with only a little bit of involvement from the Masked McAfee. Wherever this feud goes, I’m excited for the Burch/Lorcan title defenses. I wouldn’t even say no to a Breezango rematch, if they want to do one. Beyond that, I hope Breezango sticks around NXT. It’s not like they’d get any more to do on any other WWE show.
That’s all for this week. Join me next time for more Wednesday Night action!
A photo of Joe Biden hugging and kissing his only living son, Hunter, is circulating after Newsmax TV host John Cardillo shared it on Twitter with the caption, “Does this look like an appropriate father/son interaction to you?”
The question is clearly meant to be a dig at Biden, whose well-documented life in politics includes many examples of both his deep love for his family and his physical expressions of affection. While his opponents have cherry-picked photos to try to paint him as “creepy,” those who know him well—and who are in some of those viral images—defend Biden’s expressions of affection as those of a close friend and grandfatherly figure. (And in fact, at least one photo of Biden holding and kissing a child’s face was of him and his grandson at his son Beau’s funeral, taken as a still shot from this video.)
Everyone has their own level of comfort with physical space and everyone’s line of what’s appropriate when it comes to physical affection are different, but some accusations of inappropriateness are just…sad. And this photo with this caption is one of those cases.
Does this look like an appropriate father/son interaction to you? https://t.co/XDMIsgjUKI
What people see when they look at this photo says a lot more about them than it does about the father and son in it. And the reactions on Twitter made that point crystal clear.
A therapist weighed in, saying “if anyone looks at this photo and sees anything other than father + son love, I’d recommend therapy until the person knows [the difference between] healthy + unhealthy touching.”

Not that it wouldn’t be appropriate if this weren’t the case, but knowing the tragedy this father and son have been through adds greater context to this photo. Biden lost his wife and Hunter lost his mother in a car accident when Hunter was little. And Biden lost a son and Hunter lost his only brother in 2015 when Beau Biden died of brain cancer.
This is a father-son affection that includes a bond that only those who have shared severe loss can know.
@johncardillo Hunter has lost a mother, a sister, and a brother. His father is trying to make up for that lost love… https://t.co/saS1vBwMwu
In addition to pointing out the hypocrisy of Trump supporters trying to paint Biden as inappropriate when there is no shortage of photos of Trump in eyebrow-raising photos with his kids—including one with Ivanka and Eric as kids standing next to Jeffrey Epstein—some people shared how a lack of fatherly affection might explain how people see Trump.
@JHunter65284456 @4everNeverTrump @johncardillo Wow… I think this is true for the female Trump supporters I know, too
And in one response, Cardillo almost appeared to confirm it, only denying a small, unrelated part of a tweet suggesting he’d been mistreated by his own father.
The fact that anyone would look a photo of a loving father embracing his son and kissing him on his cheek and think “Ew,” is truly sad.
Unfortunately, we live in a society where men showing affection is viewed negatively by some people, whether due to toxic ideas of masculinity or homophobia or both. We also live in an era of poisonous partisanship that pushes people to view those on the other side of the political spectrum as evil. Combine that with the QAnon conspiracy theorists obsession with pedophilia, and we’ve ended up with one of the nicest and most decent men in politics being smeared with posts like this.
Clearly, some people need more parental love in their lives.
Clemson demolished Georgia Tech last week in a 73-7 rout as they continue to exist on a plane so far above anyone else in the ACC that it’s become difficult to even watch Clemson games on a regular basis because they get out of hand so incredibly quickly.
This week, they are breaking new ground in terms of dominance as they face off with a dismal Syracuse team that just lost at home to Liberty. As of this moment, the Tigers are a 46-point favorite over the Orange, which is the biggest point spread for a Clemson in-conference game ever — I’m fairly confident saying this since it’s definitely the biggest in a decade and before this decade they were never head and shoulders above the rest of the ACC.
Per Odds Shark, Clemson has been a 46+ point favorite five times previously, but all have been against FCS opponents — Citadel, Wofford, Furman, and SCSU (twice). This will be the first time they reach that number against an ACC opponent, and, adding to the hilarity, they are -100000 favorites on the money line to win the game outright, which is to say, a $1,000 bet on Clemson simply to win on Saturday would net you a robust $1 return. On the other side, Syracuse is +4000 on the money line, meaning a $100 bet would win you $4,000 if they somehow win outright on the field.
I wanted to know exactly how rare it is for a Power 5 team to be a 46-point favorite in conference play and, to the best of my ability, could only find four previous instances of this in the past decade and six overall.
The most recent was Rutgers a year ago, who covered as a 52-point underdog against Ohio State. Kansas has twice faced a 46-point spread in the Big 12, both in 2015, going 1-1 ATS, nearly beating TCU and getting thumped by Baylor. Back in 2012, Colorado failed to cover a 47-point spread against Oregon in its second season in the Pac-12. In the ACC, Florida State was twice a 47-point favorite in 2000, going 1-1 ATS with a cover against Duke and failing to cover at Wake Forest. Also in the Big 12, Oklahoma was a 54.5-point favorite in 2003 over Baylor and failed to cover in a 41-3 win.
Syracuse will look to make the dogs 5-3 ATS and simply hold on to lose by fewer than seven touchdowns against Trevor Lawrence and Clemson on Saturday.
HBO and HBO Max are delivering some impressive titles this month, so divide your time amongst the streamers accordingly.
You’re definitely going to want to schedule a binge-watch of His Dark Materials season two, especially since the Hot Priest himself, Andrew Scott, is joining the cast. And Kaley Cuoco’s Flight Attendant feels like the elevated high-concept drama that everyone will be talking about this month. For comedy fans, Melissa McCarthy’s Superintelligence is here to lighten things up, and there are plenty of season finales and docu-series premieres to fill up your streaming calendar — if for some reason, that’s a problem you’re having.
Here’s everything coming to and leaving HBO and HBO Max this November.
His Dark Materials, Season Two Premiere (HBO)
This universe-spanning fantasy series returns for another season, this time transporting James McAvoy’s Lord Asriel and Dafne Keen’s Lyra to our world. While they uncover dark secrets about the Magisterium, Lee Scoresby (Lin-Manuel Miranda) meets a stranger played by Andrew Scott on his quest to find Lyra and help the witches as Mrs. Coulter embeds herself deeper in enemy territory.
The Flight Attendant, HBO Max Original Series Premiere
Kaley Cuoco returns to TV with this murder mystery thriller about a troubled flight attendant trying to solve a murder investigation that’s named her as the prime suspect. Cuoco plays Cassie, a young woman who drinks a little too much but seems otherwise normal until she wakes up next to a dead passenger and struggles to piece their night together to clear her name.
Superintelligence, HBO Max Original Film Premiere
Melissa McCarthy stars in this HBO Max comedy that tasks her with saving the world by convincing an all-powerful Superintelligence that humanity deserves a second shot. The only problem? Her character, Carol Peters, is the most boring, average person on Earth, and impressing the A.I.’s gonna be a lot of work.

In the middle of a heated election, liberal and conservative Americans are at odds over a lot of issues, but there’s one thing they can agree on, they’re sick of all the political acrimony.
A 2018 PBS poll found that nearly three-quarters of Americans — 74 percent — think the overall tone and level of civility in the nation’s capital have gotten worse since Trump was elected.
Seventy-nine percent are “are concerned or very concerned that the negative tone of national politics will prompt violence.”
“I have said this since he was elected,” a former GOP member of Congress told The Hill. “This exhaustion, this never-ending drama and chaos … I think a lot of people are yearning for some kind of normalcy.”
In a rare showing of civility just 14 days before the November 3 election, Republican Spencer Cox and Democrat Chris Peterson, rival candidates for Utah governor, created a joint campaign ads promising to respect the outcome of the presidential race.
The display was a rare instance of candidates coming together in the middle of an election.
“We can debate issues without degrading each other’s character,” Peterson says in one ad. “We can disagree without hating each other,” says Cox. “And win or lose, in Utah we work together,” says Peterson. “So let’s show the country there’s a better way,” says Cox.
I’m not sure this has ever been done before…but as our national political dialogue continues to decline, my oppon… https://t.co/UZ2MilTiaZ
In another ad, the duo pledge to accept the results of the election and to “commit to a peaceful transition of power.” Although they didn’t mention the president by name, it’s a clear repudiation of Trump’s campaign to challenge the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
“We’ve come together with a message more important than our differences,” Cox says in the ad. “That we will fully support the results of the presidential election,” adds Peterson. “So Utah can be an example to the nation,” added Cox.
Cox, Peterson call for Utah to support peaceful transition of power
“The time-honored values of a peaceful transition of power and working with those with whom we differ are an integral part of what it means to be an American,” said Peterson in a joint statement with Cox. “It’s time to reforge a national commitment to decency and our democratic republic.”
The ad is clearly an attempt by both politicians to win points by presenting a positive face at a time when partisan rancor is particularly heated. But there is reason to be a little skeptical of both politicians motives.
Cox has a huge lead over Peterson in the highly Republican state and loses very little by showing his opponent in a positive light.
The ad was applauded by Utah Republican senator Mitt Romney, who recently admitted that he didn’t vote for President Trump. Romney has been a consistent anti-Trump voice in the senate after winning the seat in 2018.
Applaud this joint effort by @SpencerJCox and @PetersonUtah to promote the Utah values of respect and civil discour… https://t.co/Bj4eQguDqo
While it’s right to be skeptical of this overt attempt by two politicians to show themselves as beacons of civility in a world gone mad, the important part is that the message has clearly been supported by the American people.
The ads have received tens of thousands of likes on Twitter and have attracted national attention.
If the polls are correct, we appear to be limping towards the final days of the most divisive presidency in recent American history. Cox and Peterson’s ad shows that Americans on both sides of the aisle have a real hunger for a greater sense of civility in our public discourse.
Let’s hope the message is heard loud and clear by leaders throughout the country and wen begin to heal after a viscous four years of partisan bickering.
Finneas got his big break thanks to his work with sister Billie Eilish, but he’s established a worthwhile solo career for himself as well. The latest fruit of that effort is “Can’t Wait To Be Dead,” a single that he released yesterday and shared a new video for today. The clip shows Finneas scrolling through a social media feed, with the shot sometimes focusing on his reflection, that shows the dominant topics of the year: protests, the election, and the coronavirus pandemic.
Finneas also hosted a livestream leading up to the video’s premiere, during which he played some songs and answered some questions. Towards the end, he also explained the idea behind the “Can’t Wait To Be Dead” video, saying, “When I write songs, I don’t like to write a song that feels like it’s only about one thing, even if it is, because I want every person that listens to it to be able to internalize it and have it translate it to whatever experience they’re going through is. That being said, I think music videos are a fun way to articulate exactly what the song means to you. To me, this song is just about my relationship with the internet, so that’s the premise of this video.”
He also noted that this will not be the last song he releases this year, so keep an eye out for more from Finneas over the next few months.
Jack Harlow is continuing to celebrate his breakout year by turning his focus to another breakout star. Following a slew of collaborative singles, Harlow linked up with Miami Heat rookie Tyler Herro to address their outsider status in a new song.
For the video accompanying the single “Tyler Herro,” Harlow called on the basketball player to make a cameo. The visual follows Harlow on a day of press photos before he hits the court to shoot some hoops with Herro himself. “My dogs like to play Madden and 2K / But one they don’t do is play about me / My homeboy Tyler, he play in South Beach,” Harlow raps.
Harlow’s “Tyler Herro” video arrives following a big year for the rapper. Not only did Harlow’s song “What’s Poppin’” earn him a top ten slot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but the rapper was also named a part of this year’s XXL Freshman Class. “What’s Poppin’” also caught the attention of several other big-name musicians. Justin Bieber lent his own verse on an unofficial remix of Harlow’s breakout song and Joyner Lucas co-opted the beat to serve up his interpretation of the track in another remix.
Watch the “Tyler Herro” video above.
Jack Harlow is an Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
